This workshop is going to cover quantitative research techniques for collecting, signal processing and cleaning, and analysing physiological data that are useful for measuring tourism experiences. Theoretical issues and research designs will be touched on, but the emphasis will be on data affordances, (im)possibilties, and best practices. Original data will be visualized and analysed on-the-spot to give a concrete feel for the key procedures.
